2.00Just understand, you will be spending most of your time on a bus and then when you get off at locations, you’re rushed with only a few minutes to experience it before youre told him to get back on the bus. Also, the water tour is not a boat, you were just crossing the lake on a ferry for about 10 minutes.
Adolfo is very good tour...

1.00We were told this was a small group excursion and was in English, both critical elements for us. We wound up on a 50 person tour bus with a guide who had to translate everything she said, multiple times. Absolutely an AWFUL trip. The guide was almost impossible to understand when we were outside, since our group was so large. We were rushed constantly. The part of the trip that was described as a "Ferry Boat" ride was the bus driver driving down the side of the lake, then driving the entire bus into the ferry for a 10 minute boat ride across the lake while wae sat on the bus!!! Waste of time!! The write up sounded fun "Ferry Ride", the reality... dumb. Should have used those wasted minutes on top of the mountain with the view instead of rushing us through that as well! It was a horrible value for our money and this Viator trip was NOT cheap! Will think hard before we do another. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!
Mostly on a bus, which was not what I had expected

4.00The best driver was awesome. Traffic was very heavy. I was a little disappointed that we were on a bus a lot more than I anticipated.
